< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 481 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-19-19    morfishine: Good luck everybody on the final tournament of the Championship! Its been a splendid Championship, spirited and hotly contested! And you are all invited to my award ceremony! Mar-21-19    wordfunph: <14. morfishine 11,595> let's get it on! amigo <moronovich> is waiting on top :) Mar-23-19    wordfunph: someone dropped 5k for Caruana in Caruana-Dominguez.. war is brewing! Mar-23-19    Chessgames Bookie: Bookies love betting wars! Feel free to duke it out. ;) Mar-23-19    Chessgames Bookie: Lotta chessbucks on the table today. Maybe a shakeup on the Leaderboard?! Mar-23-19    Dr Winston OBoogie: <Chessgames Bookie: Lotta chessbucks on the table today. Maybe a shakeup on the Leaderboard?!> Those first 5 places are cemented in stone, it'll take a brave man to go for 1st and risk dropping away. I think this is the best I've ever done and I don't think I've bet more than 200 cbs on any single wager :) Mar-23-19    Chessgames Bookie: <Dr Winston OBoogie: Those first 5 places are cemented in stone, it'll take a brave man to go for 1st and risk dropping away.> Still a bit too early for a major shake-up. I suspect after the break in Round 6 the war of nerves will begin. With time beginning to run out moves will have to be made if you want to climb in the standings. Time for everyone to put their strategies in place. Mar-23-19    morfishine: <Dr Winston OBoogie> I'm not sure what you mean by <Those first 5 places are cemented in stone> True, for one round, but after that, anything can happen Mar-23-19    wordfunph: that's the spirit, just like in chess --- fighting! Caruana-Dominguez 1/2 Mar-24-19    martin moller: Hello Chess Bookie - What´s happening to Mr.Loanshark ! I can only loan 150 Bucks. Best wishes and Thankyou for a fun game.

Only 5 rounds to go till the end of the Championship Leg. If you don't have a strategy in place now is the time to put one in place. Good luck to all! Mar-27-19    morfishine: Thank you <Chessgames Bookie> for the advice, and I do have a strategy in place: Bet it All ! :) Mar-27-19    Chessgames Bookie: I've done that a few times myself <morf>. Sometimes you gotta let it fly. ;) Mar-27-19    martin moller: Thank you <Chessgames Bookie> I have a strategy !
